After I Ran Away from Home, My Mortal Enemy Said They Loved Me

Everyone knows the two young heirs of the Xi and Lian families can't stand each other.

One is a humble, courteous prodigy.

The other is a rebellious, unruly young master.

Everyone likes Xi Yijun.

As expected, the two got into a fight.

Their childhood friends chose Xi Yijun.

Their teachers and classmates defended Xi Yijun without hesitation, too.

Everyone blamed Lian Xiang.

His father came to the principal's office in person and took him away. From that day on, no one saw Lian Xiang again.

Later, people heard that Lian Xiang had been kicked out of his family.

After that, plenty of people took the opportunity to kick him while he was down.

But those in the know understood that the young masters had turned Jiang Province upside down looking for him.

The stern, old-fashioned head of the Lian family, Lian Xiang's father, had also been sending people to search for his only son all along.

Even Xi Yijun, who was supposedly Lian Xiang's sworn enemy, had never stopped looking.

-

Living alone in a small county town, Lian Xiang enjoyed a relatively peaceful life.

He thought things would stay that way for many years.

Until one day, his long-unseen nemesis appeared outside his home, his gaze dark and unfathomable.

In the next moment, a hand clamped around his. He heard the other man say:

"Come back with me."

After Lian Xiang refused, Xi Yijun stuck to him like glue.

They had to sleep together in the countryside, sleep together when they returned to the Lian home, and even sleep together in their university dorm.

The narrow bed finally groaned in protest, creaking loudly enough to draw strange looks from their roommates.

Lian Xiang: ...

He was sick of it.

Was this some new way of messing with him?

But instead of Xi Yijun scheming against him, Lian Xiang got a confession.

Lian Xiang: ?

He was stunned for a long time, then slowly curled his lips into a smile. "Sure."

"Boyfriend."

What do you do when your nemesis confesses to you?

Obviously, say yes, toy with him, then dump him!

After some time, Lian Xiang finally remembered he was supposed to "break up" with him.

But before he could bring it up, the other man sealed his lips with a kiss.

Lian Xiang: ?

The next time he tried, he was pushed down onto the bed.

Things weren't going quite as planned...

It seemed like he wouldn't be able to break up with him anytime soon.

Short-tempered, aloof, straight bottom x black-lotus rich heir top

Reader notes:

1. Lots of groveling and regret in the middle.

2. Both are strong, both think they're straight, genuine enemies, and the bottom is a beloved, beautiful, strong yet tragic character.

3. The bottom isn't strong and the top isn't stronger. This scheming top can explain himself.

4. Slow burn. The story begins in a county town and later moves to university.

5. One-on-one romance, with both falling for each other.
